Score Against Hunger to Win $1,000

20 November 2012

We know you’re digitally savvy, globally conscious and multi-taskers: at school, home or on the run, you play Freerice to fight hunger while increasing your knowledge. To say “thank you” for your dedication and time, we’re excited to tell you about a competition.

With the help of Kaplan Test Prep, you can Score Against Hunger starting today by joining their contest to win a cash prize of $1,000, with the same amount donated to Freerice. The runner up will win $500, with another $500 donated to Freerice!

If you’re not a high school student, or a US or Canadian citizen, you won’t be eligible to win the prizes; but, you can always support the world’s hungry by encouraging your friends and community to rice up against hunger.

I like the idea of doing a contest. Maybe there should be a contest where groups are created for each country and whichever country raises the most grains wins.

On a completely different note, I would like to mention bots. There is still a big problem with bots, and you guys at Freerice need to post a notice just about these bots. RICEMAN_DEFEATER_OF_HUNGER had on his description for a while a message against bots. He is awesome, because not only does he not use buts, but he raises a lot of grains.

But seriously though, who can raise 5 million grains in a day? These bots need to be stopped.
